Car Oil Change Frequency Myth

The 3,000 mile Myth, a notion that car oil needs to routinely be charged every 3,000
miles.
However, according to a new research in the California Integrated Waste Management Board
(CIWMB), it shows that Changing Motor Oil Every 3,000 Miles Isn't Always Recommended
CIWMB Chair Margo Reid Brown says, "Used motor oil poses a great risk to the environment. With better made cars and the rise of synthetic oils, the 3,000 mile standard is not always recommended."
Oil change recommendations are based on the type of driving done, normal or severe. Most drivers can use the advice given for operating under normal conditions. Recommendations are detailed in the owner's manual of each car. If you have any doubts, contact your car dealer or a qualified mechanic for advice.
